Vignesh Shivan and Love Today fame actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan are set to join hands for the first time for their upcoming film Love Insurance Corporation (LIC).

According to a report from Cinema Express, the real-life LIC, Life Insurance Corporation of India has sent a legal notice to the director, asking him to change the title of the film.

Vignesh Shivan gets a legal notice

As per the report, the LIC has given seven days to the director and the film’s production company Seven Screen Studio to change the name of the film claiming that they don’t like the usage of their name for a film, and if not changed by seven days they will move against the film legally.

The government organization has been a notable and essential part of Indian society for many years now and has been providing life insurance for all this time, building up a reputation for themselves. The organization has warned that if the makers don't change the title of the film, they will take legal action citing copyright infringement.

Though the organization has submitted this notice to the makers, an official response to the same is yet to be received from the other side.
